1874
From the collection of Cleveland Museum of Art
Portrait of Paul Cézanne is a 1874 by Camille Pissarro, a Impressionism work, held at Cleveland Museum of Art.
This portrait depicts a man with a full beard and mustache, wearing a cap and coat. The subject is seated, with his left arm resting on his lap and his right arm bent at the elbow, with his hand near his chest. The background of the portrait is a solid color. The man's facial expression is contemplative, and his eyes seem to be gazing off into the distance. The overall mood of the portrait is one of quiet introspection. The artist's use of chiaroscuro creates a sense of depth and dimensionality in the portrait. To learn more about the artist's technique, look up chiaroscuro.
